Senegal vs Gambia live stream, date, time, channels

The Senegal vs Gambia live stream takes place on Monday, January 15.
Time 2 p.m. GMT / 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / 1 a.m. AEDT (Jan. 15)
• U.K.Sky Sports

Led by Sadio Mané, The Lions of Teranga are the second-highest-ranked team at AFCON 2023, behind World Cup semi-finalists Morocco. The former Liverpool forward is joined by a host of Premier League players. These include midfielders Pape Matar Sarr and Idrissa Gueye from Spurs and Everton respectively. There is also Fulham defender Fode Ballo-Toure, Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson, and Moussa Niakhate and Cheikhou Kouyate, both of Nottingham Forest.

Gambia had a rather traumatic time on the way to the tournament. Their flight to the Ivory Coast had to be aborted after a seeming lack of oxygen onboard, with players and staff falling unconscious. Hopefully, The Scorpions will have recovered from this nightmarish experience to give a good account of themselves on the pitch. They may not have a huge array of stars to pick from – this is only their second AFCON – but Gambia will want to make all their hard work to qualify count.

Can Senegal start their bid to retain the title with a win, or will they get stung by the Scorpions? Find out by watching the Senegal vs Gambia live stream. Read on as we explain all the ways to watch AFCON 2023 from anywhere.

How to watch Senegal vs Gambia live streams from around the world

A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch Senegal vs Gambia live streams on the CAF YouTube channel, even though they're not in the U.K.. Matches are also free to those from sub-Saharan Africa on New World TV.

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to the CAF YouTube channel or another service and watch the game.

Thanks to a late deal, Sky Sports is now showing every match of AFCON 2023, including a Senegal vs Gambia live stream. If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £18/month to add those channels. 

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £13/month for the TV, plus a sky sub on top of that.
